 Have you not closed these bugs in the changelog of your NMU?

No, as Loic mentioned in his mail we decided that this bug should be downgraded
instead of being closed as it's just a work-around instead of a real fix.

If you prefer, i can ofcourse upload a new version which does clone the bug and
we can do some magic to open a new one with the same info, stating what
actually should be fixed :)

  I'm the one who proposed not to close the bug as the bug isn't fixed,
  only hidden, and altivec support is desirable.  Perhaps we should clone
  the bug and close one if you need a RC bug to track this upload.

Yes, please.  There are two separate bugs here:  earlier versions of the
package have broken altivec detection that leaves the package unusable on
some procs, later versions have no altivec detection at all.  The former is
RC (at least arguably), the latter is not, so it would be helpful to be able
to distinguish between the two.

Bug#404876: Doesn't work on BlueWhite G3 either...

2007-02-11 Thread Rick Thomas
Previously I reported that my BlueWhite G3 Powermac didn't get the  
wigglies.  Apparently that was a lie.


I recently re-installed this machine and there there were!  So both  
my G3 machines (Beige OldWorld G3 and BW NewWorld G3) have this  
problem.


Has there been any progress lately?

 If you do manage to reach the final SIGILL again, it would be very

I am following his instructions exactly, but all I get is the usual
pipeline error (which is the normal behaviour).

I checked whether I've made a snafu while moving the files
from/to /usr/lib, but everything seems in order.  

I can't reproduce the bug :/

Here's an interesting counterpoint to my previous experiences with an  
OldWorld Beige G3 PowerMac...


I tried installing on a BlueWhite G3 NewWorld (just barely! -- it  
was one of the very first of Apple's NewWorld PowerMacs).


It has the G3 processor (no altivec) but the wigglys don't happen!

I installed from the Jan 21, 2007 09:10:17 UTC businesscard CD.

I haven't tried the whole testing process that Sjoerd recommended.  I  
will do that soon.


Curiouser and curioser!, cried Alice.

On Jan 14, 2007, at 5:08 PM, Sjoerd Simons wrote:

I installed on my beige G3 PowerMac (OldWorld) test machine.  I  
used the latest d-i netinst CD dated 2007 Jan 21 09:10:17 UTC,  
downloaded from http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/daily-builds/sid_d- 
i/20070121-1/powerpc/iso-cd/


I did a default install.  When it came to running tasksel I chose  
the desktop and standard tasks.  It installed everything pretty  
much as expected except that it wound up in a red screen saying:


[!!] Configure gnome-applets
Installation step failed
An installation step failed.
The failing step is: Select and install software.

I continued anyway and allowed it to reboot, which went pretty much  
as expected.


After the reboot, I tried to log into Gnome.  It behaved as described  
in bug#404876 (popup telling of a problem loading  
OAFID:GNOME_MixerApplet, and the screen went all wiggly.)


I then followed Sjoerd's instructions for testing.

0: Install gstreamer
no problem.

1: rm ~/.gstreamer-0.10/registry.*.xml
That directory didn't exist.  So there was nothing to remove.

   gst-launch-0.10 --gst-disable-registry-fork
crashed with illegal instruction

2b: installed the kernel from SID.
gst-launch... still gave illegal instruction

downloaded and installed libvisual-0.4-0_0.4.0-1.0.1_powerpc.deb  
from sjoerd's directory.
	got ERROR: pipeline could not be constructed: empty pipeline not  
allowed.

I assume this is the right answer?

Then I logged out and logged back in again to Gnome.  No more  
wiggles.  So that fixes the problem, whatever it was.


Congratulations!

Rick

Bug#404876: Reassigning 404876 to libvisual

reassign 404876 libvisual
retitle 404876 libvisual's altivec detection is broken or breaks with some 
kernels and should be disabled
stop

Hi,

 It's not clear whether the altivec detection code is broken or not,
 differrent kernels and different kernel configs on different hardware
 resulted in mixed success; it seems that it would be best to either
 change it to something more reliable (I read that libc is supposed to
 provide this type of routines), or to disable it for etch.

Hi,

  Gstreamer currently has a release critical bug that seems to be only
  reproducable on powerpc machines without altivec support and even then
not
  always. The best hint to what the problem might be seems to indicate
there is
  an issue in the libvisual altivec detection code[0]..
  
  Also for some reporters the problem went away (!?). Google revealed
that
  pld-linux re-enabled the altivec detection because it works ``on fixed
  kernel''. So it might be related to specific kernel versions. 

  So what i would like people to do (Only on machine without altivec!):
   
   0: Install gstreamer 0.10 (at least gstreamer0.10-plugins-base and
  gstreamer0.10-tools from etch)
   1: Run: 
rm ~/.gstreamer-0.10/registry.*.xml  
gst-launch-0.10 --gst-disable-registry-fork
   2a: If it doesn't crash:
 - please try on an older kernel if possible
   2b: If it does crash:
 - please try on a newer (debian) kernel if possible 
 - if that doesn't help try the libvisual packages at:
   http://people.debian.org/~sjoerd/libvisual/
   3: Thanks for testing! Please mail your experiences, kernel versions,
  machines types etc.

The problem is that I could not still find a 2.6.20 pre-compiled linux

(that means that my old ibook will slowly compile for hours and

 There are some pre-compiled kernels on buildserver.net; at least the
 2.6.20-rc5 and the next sid version (2.6.18-9).

I didn't yet tested all stuff here proposed, but I'm ready to provide
you all additional information you could need.

Actually, I can say that installing libvisual-0.4-0 doesn't solve for me
the problem.

The kernel I run on this ibook is:

 # uname -a
  Linux ibook 2.6.18-3-powerpc

I downloaded this kernel (2.6.20-ppc-version's kernel is still not
available) from that link:
http://kernel-archive.buildserver.net/debian-kernel/build/pool/main/l/linux-2.6/linux-image-2.6.18-4-powerpc_2.6.18-9~snapshot.8189_powerpc.deb
'couse it seams to be the last available. I had the following result:

 # dpkg -i linux-image-2.6.18-4-powerpc_2.6.18-9~snapshot.8189_powerpc.deb
 Selezionato il pacchetto linux-image-2.6.18-4-powerpc, che non lo era.

 Done.
 Configuro linux-image-2.6.18-4-powerpc (2.6.18-9~snapshot.8189) ...

  Hmm. The package shipped with a symbolic link
 /lib/modules/2.6.18-4-powerpc/source
  However, I can not read the target: No such file or directory
  Therefore, I am deleting /lib/modules/2.6.18-4-powerpc/source

 Running depmod.
 Finding valid ramdisk creators.
 Using mkinitramfs-kpkg to build the ramdisk.
 Examining /etc/kernel/postinst.d.
 run-parts: executing /etc/kernel/postinst.d/mkvmlinuz

Then, I rebooted my laptop but I still got the same GNOME daemon /
IDL:Bonobo/GeneralError:1.0 error.

Maybe, Loïc, you meant a different kernel. Can you just link me the
exact one, or some additional test to do, please? I'm not a geek at
all... but, anyway, I'll do my best... :)

Bug#404876: (no subject)

2007-01-16 Thread Jonathan Bastien-Filiatrault
Allright, I finished my iBook logic board upgrade, the laptop is now in
one piece for testing (as compared to all over the place when I wrote
this morning).

So I compiled a vanilla 2.6.19.2 with make-kpkg and reverted libvisual
to the official debian package. I have not been able to reproduce this
bug with this kernel. Should we reassign this bug to linux-source ?
Anyway, thanks for the help and keep up the great work, if I can help,
let me know.

Bug#404876: G3 (or other non-altivec machines) testers sought

2007-01-14 Thread Sjoerd Simons
Hi,

  Gstreamer currently has a release critical bug that seems to be only
  reproducable on powerpc machines without altivec support and even then not
  always. The best hint to what the problem might be seems to indicate there is
  an issue in the libvisual altivec detection code[0]..
  
  Also for some reporters the problem went away (!?). Google revealed that
  pld-linux re-enabled the altivec detection because it works ``on fixed
  kernel''. So it might be related to specific kernel versions. 

  So what i would like people to do (Only on machine without altivec!):
   
   0: Install gstreamer 0.10 (at least gstreamer0.10-plugins-base and
  gstreamer0.10-tools from etch)
   1: Run: 
rm ~/.gstreamer-0.10/registry.*.xml  
gst-launch-0.10 --gst-disable-registry-fork
   2a: If it doesn't crash:
 - please try on an older kernel if possible
   2b: If it does crash:
 - please try on a newer (debian) kernel if possible 
 - if that doesn't help try the libvisual packages at:
   http://people.debian.org/~sjoerd/libvisual/
   3: Thanks for testing! Please mail your experiences, kernel versions,
  machines types etc.

GNOME will still try to restart the Settings Daemon next time you

Pranay,

This sounds a lot like http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi? 
bug=404876  What hardware are you using?  Is it a G3 based OldWorld  
PowerMac, by any chance?  If so, does the workaround in the bug  
report help?  If not on G3 PowerMac hardware, then it's even *more*  
interesting to know if the workaround helps!


Enjoy!

Sorry, but I can't revert that state any more...  It is working and

Bug#404876: Quick G3 Wiggly Gnome Fix

2007-01-01 Thread Rick Thomas

I've created a quick hack fix for the Wiggly Gnome Bug. This is not a
good fix as it doesn't address *why* the problem occurred or prevent
it from occurring again. However, it's good enough for me to get work

bug is properly squashed.

You can compile your own libgstreamer or download the one that I  
posted:


http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=404876#msg98

--Ben


I've got two machines, sitting side by side.  One is the Beige G3  
PowerMac that started all this.  The other is a G4 Powermac.  They  
are both running up-to-date Debian etch.  Both are configured for the  
GNOME desktop manager.


I did the series of magical passes described in the message b9  
pointed to on each of them.   The wigglys on the G3 are now gone.   
Hurrah!



I've done enough messing around on the G3 that I don't trust the  
config files to be meaningful, so I'm not going to send them yet.


I'll do a complete re-install from scratch on the G3 then do b9's  
magic again.  I'll send the config files from that one.


Enjoy!

Rick

 Good idea. Here are config.{h,log,status} from the run. Let me know if
 you need anything else.

 Could you compare the config.* files from a configure run on your
 powerpc in gstreamer0.10 with the files from the G3 run in #404876?

 I hope this could help pin-point the relevant test that we need to
 force to the G3 value on the buildds; perhaps it can even be moved to
 runtime.

 Attached is the output produced on my machine running unstable.

Now try:

   rm ~/.gstreamer-0.10/registry.*.xml
   gdb -args gst-launch-0.10 --gst-disable-registry-fork

and give gdb the command 'run'.  GDB will stop once with a SIGILL in
the function 'test_altivec()' called by 'oil_cpu_fault_try()'.  Use
the command 'c' to continue when this happens (since it's not a
problem).  It should stop again with a SIGILL.  Please capture the
backtrace at this point and attach it to the bug.

Just in case I forgot about some other CPU detection code, please
enter 'c' again.  It should say something like Process Terminated,
killed by signal.  If it doesn't, it will probably continue along
until it hits another SIGILL, at which point you should create a
second backtrace.

As an off the cuff guess, it's probably due to the ffmpeg plugin,
/usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgstffmpeg.so.  You could attempt removing
that to see if it starts working.  (The test command above is bogus
and will print an error, but it's not supposed to crash.)

Bug#404876: Backtrace

 However, if I remove libgstlibvisual.so, I get the following while
 launching the first command with LANG=C:

Ok, that is approximately what I expected, although I'm a bit
confused.

Could you (or someone) get back to the state where it's broken, and
run 

  ulimit -c unlimited
  rm ~/.gstreamer-0.10/registry.powerpc.xml
  gst-launch-0.10

And let it crash.  Then run:

  gdb gst-launch-0.10 core

and do a backtrace.  (The core file might have a pid suffix.)

However, after rebooting following the install, and logging in to

slow (as if a process in continually crashing and restarting) and the
appearance of the desktop cycles thru a series of subtle but
disturbing changes that I'll call wiggling for want of a better  
word.


I have seen behaviour more or less like this when the clock was set
wrongly, i.e. to 1904 or something, so check that the clock setting is
reasonable.  (I have no idea why a bogus clock setting upsets gnome so
much.)

Paul.


A good thought.  Unfortunately, the date  time are correct on this  
machine.


I just did aptitude update  aptitude upgrade and it installed  
newer versions of lots of gnome related stuff.  But no joy.  The  
wiggles haven't gone away.


Still hoping that somebody can help me debug this thing!

Well, nothing really useful here, except this confirms this is a  
problem

somewhere in the GStreamer stack. Reassigning.

@debian-powerpc: as it seem to render gstreamer completely useless  
on G3
processors, I think this must be addressed before the release. If  
anyone

with powerpc knowledge has some time to find what is going wrong, that
would be very helpful.


Thanks for you help!

Is there a (set of) configuration parameter(s) I can fiddle with that  
will disable (selected parts of) gstreamer?  That might help to  
narrow the scope of the question.  As noted elsewhere, I'm an old- 
fashioned command-line kinda guy and all this multi-media stuff is  
just so much glitz as far as I'm concerned. So disabling the  
troublesome parts (or the whole thing) is acceptable to me.   
Especially if it lets me get on with other testing activities on the  
OldWorld machine.


I'm (of course) willing and anxious to help get this thing debugged.   
The machine in question is dedicated to Debian testing, so feel free  
to ask me to try anything that you think might help in diagnosing the  
problem.

I have a Beige G3 Gossamer, not a tower, but it's practically the
same.


I'd very much appreciate it if somebody else with a beige G3 would
try it and let me know if they see the same problem.


I noticed the same behaviour a few months ago.  As I generally run
Window Maker/GNUstep on that machine, I just ignored that as I thought
there is something broken in my configuration.  I'll try to find out
what's wrong, but that won't happen in the forthcoming weeks.

Apparently this has nothing to do with the installation CDs, as my
machine has been running Debian for ages.  One thing you could do, as
a startup, is to attach gdb to that applet and see what's crashing
it.  That might give you a clue where to investigate further.

Could you run:

  rm ~/.gstreamer-0.10/registry.*.xml
  GST_DEBUG=*:3 gst-launch --gst-debug-no-color

and attach the output?
